I'm a puzzle I'm a walking contradiction In far from mint condition 'Cause there's pieces I can't find Sometimes trouble A can of cope, a day addiction With set in stone convictions And a no bend bottom line
I'm an easy read but I ain't no open book Got a knack for making things harder than they look
I'm a straight shootin' Beer drinkin', rule breakin' Don't think I won't take a good thing too far I'm a midnightin', backslidin' Getaway car drivin' Runnin' away with your heart I guess, be careful what you wish for Is all I meant when I said "What you see is what you get"
At least I'm honest I don't spin it like a record And I ain't acting like I'm better Than you know I really am Yeah, you're dead on it You got me figured, I'll admit it Set in my ways hard-headed But hell, I do the best I can

With me ain't no tricks up these sleeves An acquired taste, a constant work in progress
